Hello Ian,
IMO, all parts of the hilt are not genuine. It really helps to include pics from additional angles to allow visualisation of features in 3D.
Not much hopes for the blade, too, albeit...

Thanks, Omar!
Similar blades are also coming from Negara (Banjarmasin area); also the "luk" at the tip seems intentional.
Based on the slender blade as well as the scabbard I'd suggest this...

Thanks for posting this interesting knife, Thomas!
Tough to nail down its origin for sure: It probably hails from the Sumatran East coast (including the associated islands); an iron ferrule is not...

Hello Omar,

Hello Omar,
Do you have close-ups of the base of the blade? Both sides would be good.
Blades curved like this are fairly common and some of them apparently are based on the Arab jambiah.

Get well soon, Fernando!
Thanks a lot for posting this piece! Assuming that it got gifted to the intended recipient, how did it find its way back to Portugal?
BTW, there seem to be several tree...

No convincing, much less any confident opinion from my side, I'm afraid.
Pics from more angles may help. How old would you estimate this hilt to be? (From the pic, the carving...

Dear all,
The keris in the middle is in decent shape; the one below should benefit from warangan, too.
